Book excerpt: The ancient craft of pewtering comes alive in these stories of the evolution of the author's life from a career as a minister and professor to an avocation that developed into master craftsmanship. From his shop in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, Raymond Gibson has produced award-winning pieces that are sold worldwide. Whether working from his own designs or using classic colonial pieces as models, he brings his unique style to porringers, tankards, chalices, candlesticks, ladles, and similar pieces. Rarely have craftsmen written about their art with such skill.
